Hi, I recently posted my paper tax returns as a registered letter from Adelaide with the following address as listed on ATO:
Australian Taxation Office
GPO Box 9845
Adelaide ____
However, I received an email to collect the letter I posted... What does this mean and how can I post out my paper tax returns?
Hi @ twjwenzy
Thanks for reaching out.
The address seems to be correct. Unsure why you would need to collect them. Are you putting in the correct postcode for Adelaide?
Please try to post them again or have a chat to Aus post about what the issue could be. This link will provide further information about posting paper returns.

Dear Chantelle,
Thanks for your reply. I just read the website carefully again and at the end, they mentioned that if I'm using my own envelope, then the address should be:
Australian Taxation Office
GPO Box 9845
SYDNEY NSW 2001, AUSTRALIA
instead of the one we discussed above.
Hey @twjwenzy,
That's perfect!! Using either of the addresses we would receive your tax return. It's faster posting it addressed to your capital city.
